Below are tips in relation to Newspaper Review (Grade 8):
Remind students that this section involves strict time- keeping. They need to provide an introductory summary of their article for 1 minute, identify issues and offer opinions about the reporting for 2 minutes, and lead a discussion for 7 minutes. Take care to ensure that students choose an article of substance which is not too long and complex to give them the opportunity to provide a full overview of issues within a 2-minute window. Articles should allow students to explain and advocate different viewpoints. This will enable students to capture the audience’s interest in the subject matter and generate a meaningful debate when leading a discussion. Ask students to determine why the article has been written. Has the article been published in response to a current event or trend? Does the article seek to raise awareness of an issue or
offer solutions to a particular problem?
